Princess Beatrice launched a royal double act with her sister Eugenie to
promote Britain abroad, but could not escape questions about her notorious
fashion faux pas.

She was put on the spot yesterday at the British School in Berlin by Alexander
Cunningham, 8, at the start of a two-day tour of Germany.

He wanted to know about the fascinator that she wore for the wedding of her
cousin Prince William. It was dubbed “the pretzel” for its shape. “It was
made by a friend of mine, Philip Treacy,” the Princess told the boy who was
about to scoop Fleet Street.
